LAST NIGHT'S BIG PERFORMANCE. LEGENDARY RAPPER SNOOP DOGG HELD A CONCERT AT HAL AND MAL'S - AND 16 WAPT'S MIKE PERCHICK WAS ON THE SCENE. WHAT'S USUALLY A RELATIVELY QUIET TUESDAY SCENE TRANSFORMED INTO A PACKED HOUSE AS FANS THROUGHOUT THE STATE ARE HERE TO SEE THE LEGENDARY RAPPER. SIPPIN' ON GIN AND JUICE... LAID BACK. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTISTS IN THE WORLD PLAYING IN JACKSON COULD MEAN MAJOR IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CITY'S MUSIC SCENE SNOOP DOGG COMING IS HUGE. THERE ARE OTHER ARTISTS THINKING THAT WE'LL GO TO NEW ORLEANS- WE'LL GO TO ATLANTA. WE MIGHT EVEN GO TO MEMPHIS, BUT JACKSON- THAT'S NOT A TYPICAL PLACE THAT YOU'D THINK OF A BIG NAME. SNOOP DOG COMING- IT'S REALLY, REALLY BIG.OO VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY TO KNOW THAT JACKSON IS A PLACE WHERE ARTISTS CAN COME TO- THEY'RE WELCOME. THERE'S A LOT OF ARTISTS- A LOT OF BIG NAME ARTISTS THAT KIND OF PASS OVER MISSISSIPPI IN GENERAL. WHAT MADE THIS CONCERT UNIQUE- BESIDES THE HEADLINER- WAS IT WAS ANNOUNCED ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO- A RARE OCCURRENCE FOR PROMOTER ARDEN BARNETT. MOST OF MY SHOWS WE GET IT CONFIRMED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 6 WEEKS AND 6 MONTHS. THIS THING HAPPENED- IT'S LITERALLY A POP- UP CONCERT. BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP PEOPLE COMING FROM FAR AND WIDE TO THE SHOW- LIKE THIS GROUP... VISITING FROM AUSTRIA. IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT THING ABOUT JACKSON- WE WENT HERE, WE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CITY. BUT WE KNOW IT'S THE CAPITAL OF MISSISSIPPI. BUT THEN WE WENT HERE. THEY WERE TELLING US THERE WAS A CONCERT TODAY, THEY INVITED US TO THE CONCERT, AND THAT'S WHERE WE WENT HERE TODAY. OR THIS COUPLE FROM CALIFORNIA- WHO SCORED FREE TICKETS TO THE CONCERT- SHOWING WHY MISSISSIPPI IS KNOWN AS THE HOSPITALITY STATE. WE JUST CAN'T THANK EVERYONE HERE IN MISSISSIPPI ENOUGH. THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE WE JUST KEEP COMING TO VISIT. SO WHAT WE HAVE FUN... WE DON'T CARE WHO SEES. AS SNOOP SAID- HIP- HOP IS WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND... AND FOR TONIGHT, IT'S WHAT CONNECTED THIS CROWD. FROM HAL AND MAL'S, MIKE PERCHICK 16 WAPT NEWS.
